Diabetes is the seventh leading cause of death in the U.S., according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). It can lead to heart disease, stroke, kidney disease, blindness, or amputation, and it affects almost 26 million Americans. Another 79 million are at risk of developing type 2 diabetes.

Type 2 diabetes accounts for about 90 to 95 percent of all diagnosed cases of diabetes in adults. Type 2 diabetes in children and adolescents, although still rare, is being diagnosed more frequently. It usually begins as insulin resistance, a condition in which cells do not use insulin properly. As the need for insulin rises, the pancreas gradually loses its ability to produce it. Type 2 diabetes is associated with:

older age

obesity

family history of diabetes

history of gestational diabetes

impaired glucose metabolism

physical inactivity

race/ethnicity (African Americans, Hispanic/Latino Americans, American Indians, some Asian Americans and Native Hawaiians or other Pacific Islanders are at higher risk for type 2 diabetes and its complications)

Type 2 Diabetes Prevention

The National Diabetes Education Program (NDEP) says making small changes, like becoming more active and losing a small amount of weight if you’re overweight, can go a long way toward helping prevent or delay the onset of type 2 diabetes. Losing even 10 to 15 pounds – if you weigh 200 pounds – can make a big difference.

If you have diabetes, you can help prevent complications by making changes to reach your blood sugar, blood pressure, and cholesterol goals. The NDEP offers a “Make A Plan” tool to help identify, organize, and meet your goals, plus information on how to stop smoking and cope with stress.

During American Diabetes Month, the American Diabetes Association is calling for individuals to take a stand and support the move to Stop Diabetes® by participating in online information sharing and support.

Physicians from National University of Health Sciences offer some natural tips that may help reduce your risk for developing type 2 diabetes, and may be helpful if you already have it.

“Making a few relatively simple dietary and lifestyle changes, and adding additional screening to your annual physical, can go a long way in diabetes prevention,” says Dr. Brian Anderson, chiropractic physician at National’s on-campus integrative medical center. “Prevention steps are especially important if you have a family history of diabetes.”

5 Natural Health Tips for Type 2 Diabetes Prevention

1. Breakfast protein. Consume adequate protein for breakfast to help stabilize your blood sugar for the rest of the day. Dr. Anderson often recommends a meal replacement shake for breakfast with the following recipe: 2 scoops of your favorite protein powder, 6 – 8 ounces of yogurt or Kefir, 4 ounces of water, 1/2 cup of frozen berries.

2. Water. Start replacing sodas, commercial sports drinks, and other sugary drinks with water. “This is one of the biggest diabetes prevention tips for children and young people,” says Anderson. “Diabetes is striking increasingly younger age groups, and parents would do well to make water the first option when their kids are thirsty.”

3. Glycemic index. Educate yourself about the glycemic index and glycemic load and change dietary habits to choose foods lower on the glycemic index. Anderson explains that different foods can have a different impact on blood sugar elevation. Choosing foods that are lower on the glycemic index — for example, choosing whole grains over processed white flour products — can help stabilize your blood sugar levels.

4. Walk. Start using a pedometer and work your way up to 10,000 steps per day. Physical activity maintains insulin sensitivity. Even if you’re not up to a major workout, most people can walk more than they do.

5. Bio-impedance test. Have a bio-impedance test to give you your baseline body composition. A bio-impedance test can be performed by chiropractic physicians and will give you the most accurate measure of your body composition. A major risk factor in type 2 diabetes is obesity, so lowering body fat and gaining lean muscle mass is recommended.
